“Cubs fan drives all day to fulfill a promise and listen to Game 7 at his father’s grave” via Sports Illustrated.

Many fans have waited their entire lives to see the Cubs win the World Series. Outside Wrigley Field, many wrote messages on the wall for loved ones who’d died before Wednesday’s big win (as pictured below).

Instead of leaving a touching message on the wall, Wayne Williams went the extra mile.

When the Cubs made it to the World Series he remembered a deal he’d made a long time ago with his father, also named Wayne. The deal was: they would listen to the games together. Wayne Jr.’s father passed in 1980 but that didn’t stop him from making good on their deal! For Game 7, Wayne drove all day from his home in North Carolina to Greenwood, Indianapolis to listen to the game at his father’s grave.

“I’ll never forget one day he said, start of the season, I forget what year it was, ‘This is going to be our year. This is going to be our year. We’re going to be 500.'”

After the emotional win Wayne Jr. laid the “W” flag down on his father’s headstone, enjoying a little piece of heaven that night.

http://www.kissottawa.com/2016/09/08/11521/#respondThu, 08 Sep 2016 15:34:36 +0000http://www.kissottawa.com/?p=11521Sophie Richie has a lot going on (modelling for Vanity Fair, Elle and Vogue China) and she just turned 18! She is also the centre of attention for another reason: being Justin Bieber’s newest love interest.

Richie calls the relationship “special” and says their recent trip to Mexico wasn’t solely about having some alone time with Bieber, it was also to celebrate her new found “freedom”!

Sophia says that she absolutely loves her career in modelling but admits her dad (Lionel Richie) definitely tries to push her towards pursuing a career in music (like her brother in law, Joel Madden).

Sophia has been into music since she was five years old but tells Billboard:

“there was too much pressure. Everyone had their own idea of what my music should sound like, and I just wanted to be an individual.”

Now that Sophia is finally 18 her next move is out of dad’s house and into her own space.

Brittany Howard (Alabama Shakes) and Jim James (My Morning Jacket) cover the Backstreet Boys classic ‘I Want It That Way’ for Chipotle. Yes this is technically an advertisement – but LOOK AT IT. It’s so darn cute! The song is awesome too… Would you like to see more ads like this?!

“I think marriage is wonderfully complicated and wonderfully interesting, and everybody conducts their marriage differently. We know almost nothing about people’s marriage, because even those who we’re most intimate with in friendships, we don’t always share the good or the bad. And I just think that at a certain point, some people feel alone and lost.” – Sarah Jessica Parker
